What will you do?

The Senior Digital Designer consultant, with the support of the Marketing team, will play a critical role in how the Sealed brand is communicated to our audience . You will own design execution across the full spectrum of the digital media environment: integrated marketing campaigns (social, digital advertising, and CRM), web design for Sealed.com, landing pages, and various other brand identity assets.  

While this role is not specifically for “product” design, fluency in Figma will be key to your success. You will own and manage the design system for Sealed.com, and create responsive experiences that translate our brand across mobile, tablet, and desktop platforms.

You are an artist first! You can illustrate in Adobe CC as well as create buttons in Figma. Sealed currently uses an illustrative aesthetic in our marketing assets, which you will support and evolve.        

The Senior Digital Designer consultant will report to the Director of Creative Strategy. 

What success looks like:

Grow: Learn through experimentation and create innovative ways to communicate the Sealed brand. Accept that there is no “perfect.” Through constructive feedback you will elevate good ideas and uncover your greatness.

Thrive: Practice your craft in a passionate environment, while helping the team prosper both culturally and creatively. You will work closely with copywriters, developers, strategists, and digital marketers - creating relationships throughout the company.  

Own: Take the initiative. Lead creative projects through research, discovery, strategy, and visual design to establish a brand experience that resonates with internal and external stakeholders.

Salary 

The expected monthly compensation for this contract role is $8,000-$10,000. We’re eager to engage with all qualified candidates and consideration will be provided to experience and skill level.

If you need a nudge, this is it. We recognize that people with marginalized identities are less likely to apply for jobs when they don’t meet all of the requirements. But here’s the reality: Rarely do candidates fulfill 100% of the requirements. You have value to offer yet maybe not the confidence to recognize it. Take a chance and apply!
